CLEANING

What's in Your Horn? You don’t even want to think about what collects in a wind instrument. Over time, oils, sweat, spit, algae, lime residue, germs and bacteria builds up in your horn inhibiting the responsiveness of your horn, negatively effecting the horns tone and pitch. All this undesirable accumulation can make your horn unhealthy to play. Horn players may be more likely to contract chronic sore throats and respiratory inflammation from saliva and microorganisms that accumulate in your instrument body and mouthpiece. Ultrasonic cleaning is your best prevention.

Sac Town Zebops has a state of the art ultrasonic cleaning bath, just like those found in laboratories. This magic sonic bath penetrates deep to clean and remove everything except what the horn needs to play well and sound awesome while maximizing the lifespan of your precious instrument. And eco-friendly ultrasonic cleaning wont damage any metal like abrasion or harsh chemicals does. The result is a beautiful horn that sounds better, plays more precisely and is better for your health.

Bill Sidney was recommended to me by my band conductor and clarinet teacher. He described Bill as the best instrument repairman in Northern California. I found Bill to be a perfectionist and does the highest quality of work. He is honest and trustworthy not only as a repairman, but also as a person. He repairs only what is needed and returns your instrument in perfect playing condition. Bill is not only my go to repairman, but over the years we have become friends. I can highly recommend him to anyone needing their instrument repaired.

Much like finding the only shop you'll ever let touch your classic car, I have found the only one that I will entrust with the repair and maintenance of not only my school's instruments but my personal ones as well. Both Mr. Alkire and Mr. Sidney treat each and every instrument that comes through their shop as if it belonged to a touring, professional musician; not only restoring the instrument to its full potential (and in some cases, beyond), but doing so in an incredibly timely manner. Add to their standard of excellence the fact that they are budget-minded as well and you have the perfect team to take care of your instruments, whether you are a full-time performer or music educator at any level.
